  • To find Ho-oh, you first have to befriend the three legendary beasts of Johto: Entei, Raikou and Suicine.

You’ll have met Raikou during the course of the story and added it to your PokeDex, but this doesn’t count. Instead, you have to reencounter Raikou, as well as the other two beasts, on Dream Islands.

Once you’ve befriended the three beasts, you’ll be awarded a new recipe for the Clear Bell. To craft this item, you’ll need 5 pieces of Rare Pokemetal, and 5 Rainbow Feathers. You’ve likely acquired everything you need to complete this recipe during a normal playthrough.

However, if you need more Rare Pokemetal, you can get it on Dream Islands, and if you need more Rainbow Feathers, you can wait until Ho-oh visits a few more times.

Once you have enough feathers, you can build the Clear Bell. After this, you’ll need to find somewhere high up and somewhere that’s open enough for Ho-oh to spawn. Once you’ve placed the Clear Bell down, wait for Ho-oh to appear overhead again and then ring the bell. This will cause a special cutscene, which will then add Ho-oh to your Pokedex.
